I'm David Nguyen, a Senior Art Director and illustrator based in Connecticut. For over 11 years I've turned strategy into visual stories, pairing strong illustration with design thinking to make work that captures attention and communicates with purpose.
Embedded Files
I believe in balancing creative exploration with strategic intent. Whether through illustration, visual design, or creative direction, what I care about most is giving an idea a compelling visual voice.Since 2019 I've been at Odonnell Company, where I now lead creative as Senior Art Director. I take campaigns from first concept to final delivery across social, digital, print, out-of-home, and broadcast, directing internal and outside teams and building the brand systems that hold everything together.I've art-directed well beyond the agency, too. I partnered with Method Man and Wu Music Group to launch the Wu-Tang Clan NFT collection, illustrating and directing and directing a small team across generative art, and graphic-novel covers. Earlier, I helped maintain Subway's brand identity across 100+ countries, designing adaptable in-store menu systems and localized merchandise for thousands of franchise locations. At RX Global (formerly Reed Exhibitions) I brought flagship events like the Outside Experience, National Hardware Show and Global Gaming Expo to life, from pre-show marketing to the on-site experience. Today I also run Artchemy Labs, an independent venture where I design and ship my own digital tools. I move easily between high-production campaigns and fast, culture-first social content, and I use AI tools daily to explore faster without losing the craft.If you're building something that needs a visual voice, let's talk.

As Senior Art Director I drive the creative direction that brings clients' stories to life across every platform, from concept through hands-on production, including storyboarding and select video and audio work.
